Eid 2021: We are no stranger to the significance of sevaiyan (or vermicelli) in Eid celebrations. The thin, noodle-like ingredient is used to make the staple festive delicacies like sheer khurma, qimami sevaiyan, falooda and whatnot. There is an art in cooking perfect sevaiyan; they are never made too mushy and are kept slightly al-dente. This is perhaps because when the sevaiyan is mixed with milk, it tends to get even softer. In puddings, it offers perfect bulk and texture making the dessert even more wholesome and memorable. This Eid, is often referred to as the Meethi Eid because these vermicelli-based desserts and drinks are prepared lavishly and served to every member of the house. As much as we love Sheer Khurma, vermicelli is too versatile an ingredient to not experiment with enough. This Eid, how about you try making these sevaiyan burfi. It uses almost the same ingredients that are used in making sheer khurma, has festive indulgence written all over it and is something different too.
